Solar activity report

Any mentioned solar flare in this report has a scaling factor applied by the Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC). Because of the SWPC scaling factor, solar flares are reported as 42% smaller than for the science quality data. The scaling factor has been removed from our archived solar flare data to reflect the true physical units.

Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity

SDF Number 218 Issued at 2200Z on 06 Aug 2005

IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 05-2100Z to 06-2100Z

Solar activity was low. Region 794 (S12W10) produced a C1.1 flare at 05/2044 UTC. Region 792 (N10W41) has decayed into a Cso group. Region 795 (N12E00) has developed into a Cso Beta group.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast
Solar activity is expected to be low.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 05-2100Z to 06-2100Z
The geomagnetic field ranged from unsettled to minor storm levels. Minor storming was observed at high latitudes between 06/0000 - 1200 UTC. Solar wind data indicate the onset of a coronal hole high speed stream beginning about 05/2200. The solar wind speed remains elevated at approximately 550 km/s. The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached high levels today.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast
The geomagnetic field is expected to be at unsettled to active levels with a chance for minor storm conditions for the next three days (07-09 August).
